He outlasted the other top tackles on the bench press, and he did it with longer arms.

He showed a 34-inch vertical, a 9-foot-10 broad jump. And then, stride by stride, sprinting down the sideline Saturday of a domed Lucas Oil Stadium, the 6-foot-6 former tight end clocked the fastest 10-yard split by an offensive lineman in the 40-yard dash.

Put it all together, and might Johnson be running away from the Chargers' reach at pick 11?

The ex-Oklahoma tackle hopped on an airplane Saturday and left Indiana after seeming to have strengthened his case to be a top-10 pick two months from Monday. His showing follows a Senior Bowl performance last month that improved his draft stock as well.

The Chargers were among the first teams to interview Johnson.

Kansas City spoke with him Thursday night as well. Two other teams in the top 10 — the Eagles at pick 4 and Browns at pick 6 — met with him Friday. A team like the Cardinals, who choose seventh, are more in the tackle market than Cleveland, which has Joe Thomas and a developing Mitchell Schwartz.

Johnson has played only one season at left tackle.

He worked on the right side his junior year after experimenting at tight end and defensive end upon joining the Sooners. He was a junior college quarterback before the transfer.

The combination of athleticism and experience level hint at untapped upside.

"I feel right at home now," said Johnson, who measured at 6-foot-6 and 303 pounds. "I’ve kind of grown into my body. I’ve kind of got the mental aspect of, 'I’m going to be like this for the next 10 or 12 years.' It fits perfect now."

The Chargers appear bound to have a high-quality offensive line prospect available to them at No. 11.

Luke Joeckel, of Texas A&M, and Eric Fisher, of Central Michigan, entered this week with Johnson as the consensus top tackles in the draft.

Joeckel has been projected to go as high as the first pick to the Chiefs with Fisher also poised to land in the top 10.

Johnson did what he could to join them in that range.

He ran the 40-yard dash like a tight end, timing at 4.72 seconds. He reached 10 yards in 1.61 seconds, the best burst among offensive linemen. His total time, for what straight-line speed is worth to a player at his position, ranked second at his position behind Arkansas-Pine Bluff's Terron Armstead (4.71 seconds)

Johnson totaled 28 reps on the 225-pound bench press, one more than Fisher and Joeckel.

At guard, either Alabama's Chance Warmack or North Carolina's Jonathan Cooper would project as an immediate starter on the Chargers' line.

Left guard Tyronne Green and right guard Louis Vasquez are set to become unrestricted free agents March 12. Vasquez is more likely than Green to re-sign as a starter, but no deal is imminent at this time.

Many analysts have called Warmack the best player in the draft.

Cooper is more likely to be available when the Chargers are on the clock. He finished second among offensive linemen with 35 bench-press reps and has a versatile background.

"We had a few gap schemes and zone-blocking schemes," Cooper said of the Tarheels. "Prior to my senior season we were a big power team, and even this year we had multiple power plays. I feel comfortable in a zone scheme, a power scheme, whatever they ask of me I feel I can do it and do it well."
